There are many ways to skin the cat, and there a few ways to burn it to a crisp.

You might get burned.

He just likes to watch things burn.

Sunny Burns thanks for sharing!

But please please done burn your bridge over a few $ or a small rate differential.

Just don't burn all your savings on the first property so you've got some cushion for the unexpected things that will inevitably pop up :)

This is currently the track we're on which wouldn't be possible if we saddled ourselves with a fat mortgage payment not to mention having to save for the down payment.

She is being held on an involuntary civil basis in a mental institution. if released, I have reason to believe she will return to burn the condominium building down.

I am over 50, with a young family, thus my risk tolerance and conservative nature for investing is much lower than many (plus, I got burned bad during the last RE downturn due to buying investments at market price peak conditions).Many posters here have earned the ability to use their RE investments to retire early (and most likely they were not investing in a 401K during their accumulation period), but that has to be through a combination of frugal lifestyle (while accumulating assets) and learning to live within their means monthly, after the goal is reached.You certainly have a lot to think about, but I tell you there is no wrong answer here, as long as you are saving for your future and investing in something that will bring a healthy return.Hope this helps.

Best BIN (used on burn-outs), next original KILZ oil based, but I generally have good results with Zinzer 123 or Coverstain, both water-based.The hardwood floors may be where the smell is.
